The pipeline laying floats can be strapped to the pipeline to reduce the tension and weight as pipeline deployment installation buoyancy during the launch of a pipeline. The pipe deployment floats modules also can be used to provide buoyancy when pulling the pipeline underwater.
We manufacture various tie-in pipeline foam buoys to provide the best float solution for the different pipe laying buoyancy requirements. We make the shallow water and deep water pipe deployment floaters down to 300m of depth. If necessary, higher depths can be reached.
To meet the different customer’s requirements, we are making the pipeline foam buoys in two different buoyancy modules. One-piece float and modular floats. Our pipeline foam buoys are fabricated with the different density closed cell foam cell depending on the depth requirement, covered by polyethylene skin/polyurethane elastomer outer skin. The skin also can be reinforced by nylon filament upon request. Each buoyancy modules have banding grooves to secure the buoys to the pipeline. The end fitting can be designed for the easy handling operation. The floats can be fixed on pipes with different types of straps or wire rope according to necessity.
Pipe Laying Floats Specification
DOOWIN pipe laying foam float buoys are designed depending on the different diameter, working water depth, and project’s requirements. We can make the paral type, oval type, saddle type, and other non-standard type buoyancy module upon the client’s request.
